See previous post. Very complete.
I opted for touch drive, relatively light (about 5 kg less than a yam or a digital Roldan) controlof noon that correspondrnz to my need; + the big screen, noon and USB.
Note that the power is supplied by the computer's USB. No need for external power supply.
However, Sustain pedal is optional (it is a bit shabby).
UTILIZATION
Trained pianist, user digital piano (Rolonda) since 1995 (before I had a yam CP70), it took me one day to get used. With a choice of 9 different velocities, I quickly found one that suited me. I play jazz, funk and French chanson. This keyboard is my game, I admit struggling to understand the controversy over touch.
Config / Manual: I bought this keyboard to play with Mainstage and NI Newyork Concert Grand. So all the parameters are edited from mainstage. PDF manual in French, almost not read.
OVERALL OPINION
2 months
Not many pre-tests. Given my budget, the issue was quickly resolved. Fatar and Akai were too expensive. The Numa (in a different price range) sounds interesting.
Between the keyboard and the sound of NI Greater New York, I found the urge to play on digital pianos.
The ease of use of the keyboard with Mainstage life easier
Q / P excellent: there is simply no competition in this price range (nine to 320 € in January 2010).
Yes, remains to be seen maintaining the reliability and solidity of the thing.
